Chapter 392 Worm Star Expedition
++Reflection every day: A coward will die of shame.++
The air is filled with the fishy smell of primitive sea water, and the oxygen content is higher than the earth's standards. The decaying breath of life makes people frown. In such an alien environment, most people wear breathing masks.
With the help of Su Jing's ability, the Thunder Eagle gunboat driven by the wild wolf in the space passed through the canyon torn apart by the hot-melting torpedo and entered the depths of the crust of the Worm Star. Su Jing paid special attention to the cross-sectional structure of the crust along the way, not the expected solid structure, but a biological armor plate similar to a certain honeycomb structure.
In the armor layer as thick as the earth's crust, there is a clear network of blood vessels, and everyone can see the existence similar to the braking structure. The entire armor layer is like the scale layer of this planetary beast, and the scales can rise with the instructions of the center; and the scale layer is also mixed with many channels and defense turrets. The Thunder Eagle gunboat moves slowly like a tiny parasite crawling among the scales.
"What is that blue crystal embedded in the carapace...?"
The judge stared at the scene outside the window. The mixed-race children with some knowledge of the Tyran Zerg compare the scenes they saw with the database in their minds, and seemed inexplicably intimately.
"The force field generates crystals. If these things are not present, the hot melt bomb may attack deeper into the planet." Su Jing replied. By collecting the generator of the vacuum background energy to generate void shield, no matter what technology can be developed by mechanical technology, biological aspects can copy the corresponding functions in their own way, and can even be more advanced than mechanical technology... but there are also shortcomings.
"You know a lot."
"This guy...why, he's just a uncreative searcher. The structures he's seen so far are all blueprint-based products provided by the library of Multiverse, but he didn't see any original structure."
Su Jing tapped the hull lightly. The gunboat landed on a slightly flat "carapace". The subatomic shock wave of the hot-melting torpedo burned through the carapace, and the softened carapace could hardly withstand the landing gear of the Thunder Eagle. Finally, an automatic navigation system was set up. Six people slid down the Thunder Eagle gunboat along the rope.
There was a huge pit at the bottom of the canyon, a deep crypt - but not dark. The orange-red warm light came out from it, and a slight heat came out from it, but it was not obvious. Because everyone, who had a very sharp sense, felt the trembling and heat under their feet... as if standing on the back of a giant beast.
"To be honest, I'll just go down alone. The level difference between you and it is too big." Su Jing knelt on the ground, broke off a piece of bone fragment from the edge of the hole the size of a small lake, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and then spit it out with a spit. He was the only one among the people present without a breathing mask.
"Strength is not an excuse." The judge stood at the entrance of the cave and looked down. "It's okay that we all die here - it's our own choice. It's not your business. Just take my eyes back. Our experiences along the way are precious materials, and the priests of the Mechanical Teaching will interpret them."
"Since that's what I said... OK."
Su Jing could see that in the hollow under the carapace, there were countless beehives built around huge column-like trees. A three-dimensional and incompetent city. The beeswax-like building materials shine with goose yellow light, and the ovums that stirred up from the bottom pipes to a high place. The fat flying insects that looked like worker bees were carrying these ovums, sliding them into Petri dishes, and soaking them in a solution pool that emits a fishy smell.
The ovary grows at a high speed in the Petri dish. Then larvae tear open the skin of the egg ovary and crawl out of the Petri dish with wet wings draped on their backs. Then a huge tentacle stretches out from the trunk, and the tip of the tentacles rolls up the first-born Zergs and puts them into the bottom of the shell.
"We need a general third type worker bee... This guy is really lazy. He is too lazy to design himself..." Su Jing narrowed his eyes.
"Hormones?"
"Yes, as long as there is a pheromone sample, I can simulate its breath. Then we can sway inside and it's okay..."
The judge thought for a second. But Su Jing had already jumped down by himself. The wings on his back spread out and glided silently within the planet's beast - in a very flexible posture. He approached a worker bee that flew a little too high, and then flashed lightly in the air.
A few minutes later, Su Jing flew back to the hole. He scratched his cheeks, then rolled up his shirt sleeves, and then bowed slightly. On his back, the bones began to grow abnormally, the joints began to proliferate rapidly, and the white bones pierced the back, forming several manned devices similar to handles and cushions on his back and side abdomen.
"Climb up, grab it, don't fall down." Su Jing said concisely.
The combined weight of the five people exceeded two tons, and the power armor was all heavy metal structures. If Su Jing had not adjusted the anti-gravity device quietly, they would have been crushed to the ground by them. The Zerg spread their black wings and jumped into the abyss of movement.
"Wow...it looks like it's in a fairy tale..." The sniper stood on Su Jing's shoulder, and his enlarged bones were like some dangerous vehicles, and they could only put them on the carrier with one foot and one hand.
"A very dangerous fairy tale, lady." Su Jing used his eyes to sweep around the beehive-like city in a tacit manner. The air was filled with dry water and slightly alkaline, and Su Jing thought secretly.
"There are petri dishes hanging on these support columns connected to the exoskeleton layer, and the ovum sacs are transported from the bottom. Then what we should look for is the manufacturing location of the ovum sacs - no, it is probably difficult to 'control' the transportation system of the entire planet just by destroying such a small piece of biomanufacturing system - what heavy guys did you bring?"
"Portuguese micro nuclear bomb, the Golden Age product specially dug out of the warehouse for this mission, looks useful. One is said to be able to destroy a small city... I caught it and hit it out in one breath." The lone wolf closed his eyes tightly, not looking at the abyss below.
"Well... it's okay." Su Jing flew down, "It looks like a passage leading to the next floor."
Su Jing flew around the support columns. One of these support columns is about a hundred in diameter. The surface is covered with layers of dense honeycomb petri dishes like mushrooms. Grape-like vesicles are squeezed up along the grooves of the cylinder, and then the hardworking worker bees transport them everywhere.
A twisted tentacle brushed across the front of Su Jing's six-person group. Everyone held their breath and calmed down. The tentacles slightly rubbed Su Jing's wings, but they didn't notice any abnormality.
"Did you...was it intentionally?" The political commissar said softly, and Su Jing heard the sound of his gloves rubbing against the hilt of the power sword.
"It's much better to be discovered now than to be discovered later." The man shrugged, "At least now, we confirm that pheromones are really useful."
Gradually, Su Jing's flying wings glided gently to the bottom of the support column. The solid red ground was no different from the rocks.
"...You heard... have you ever sing?" Mary held the heavy laser sniper rifle in her arms, with panic in her expression.
"singing?"
Susanna took a step towards the psychic, intentionally or unintentionally, but the lone wolf was already in front of her. The witch hunter army was always particularly allergic to psychics. For example, senior nuns of the living saint level, they probably had the experience of throwing hundreds of psychics judged to be fallen onto the stolen stent.
"I heard it too." Yaro. The Skull-Slaying Man held the wolf tail amulet on his chest with a slight irritation, "Damn it, it's so annoying..."
Everyone heard it now. The so-called "singing" of the psychics is the resonance of countless vitality. Everyone is like standing in the chest of a giant beast. The flow of blood, the agitation of internal organs, the countless destructive beasts that are being born and dead, the instinctive joy when they crawled out of the petri dish, and the final whine when they were thrown into the digestive pool... Everything gathered into a silence roar, pouring into everyone's hearts. Mary fell to the ground with a soft knee, and then the political commissar couldn't help but stretch out her hand to hold the space wolf.
"...This is, spiritual resonance!" Su Jing wiped the blood from his nostrils with his thumb, "Part of the immune system! It detects foreign life in this way! Our mind is like a dissonant sound in the entire system, unable to participate in this resonance... Move quickly! If the immune system of this planet has noticed us, the white blood cells may be on the way..."
Before he finished speaking, the worker bees within a few kilometers of surrounding areas began to flee. Without their wings, only the gurgling sound of body fluid flowing and the low murmurs from the ovary soaked in the Petri dish.
"Walk!"
The wild wolf carried the petite psychic on his back, while the judge supported the political commissar. Everyone ran to the place on the ground that looked like the entrance of the passage. The red earth suddenly shook, and six people slid into the tunnel one by one.
The inside of the tunnel was like a smooth cavity. Six people continued to accelerate, accelerate, accelerate... but they could never reach the bottom. Su Jing noticed another fork on the road, but a layer of moving fleshy petals blocked the fork, causing everyone to fall down in a straight line. There was a large amount of liquid in the cavity, or intestines. The living saint tried to fix his body with a combat dagger, but his hand slipped and let the dagger fly out.
About two minutes later, six people fell into a soft organ cavity one by one. The soft but covered with tiny tentacles were movable chamber, with a layer of pale yellow liquid soaked at the bottom. No one was injured because it fell on the squirming floor.
"This is... what disgusting place..." The political commissar twisted the yellow solution on his hand armor.
"Well, in my experience, this should be..." Su Jing sniffed the smell and frowned.
"Digestible cavity." The judge replied for him.
"What?" Mary wiped her sniper rifle.
"Stomach." The wild wolf sighed. (To be continued...)
